Default Day bag recommendations

Okay so my wife is the proud new owner of an 883L. She's had the detachable solo rack fitted and now wants a Day bag which will attach easily to this. I have the touring luggage system and the day pack which is included in this is the ideal size. Looking through the Moco catalogue she likes the look of the Bobtail Fender Rack duffel bag or the universal Luggage Rack bag. However no sizes are quoted for these and its not overly clear if they would fit correctly. Knowing what a mine of info you guys are I thought I'd ask for your opinions. Please note I'd have to obtain the bag in the UK.


Here's hoping you can help!

Bags-Connection has some really good stuff. My wife has one of their tour packs.

I just bought that exact set up, got at a local bike shop. paid the full retail price but the owners of the shop are real nice people. and&nbsp\\; with the state of the economy I feel better about supporting local businesses. the bags look very proportionate for a sportster yet carry plenty of stuff for a weekend trip. The wife and I took them for the weekend to laconia last fri,sat and sun and had plenty of space. hope this helped

Wow!&nbsp\\; I LIKE that Dowco Rally Pack.&nbsp\\; Unfortunately SWMBO (The wife) does not....&nbsp\\; She is concerned that I will be invisable in front of the bag....&nbsp\\; Like the bag took the Sporty for a ride....&nbsp\\; &lt\\;sigh&gt\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; [sm=dontgetit.gif]

I've got a simple Tombstone Roll Bag on my 883L.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Not a big bag, but it's great for around town or overnighting.

I bought the Day Bag that Harley offers.&nbsp\\; There are two variations of it, one has multiple size sleeves for the sixxy bar the other one is specific to the certain size back rest.

I have a Kuryakyn tombstone bag and it’s been great.&nbsp\\; Even use it as a carry-on when I fly.
